We're ageing fast LOL yesterday it was 1969 LOL! My memory does that too! I'll be typing on here and forget what I was Going to say and I'll wake up in the middle of the night and remember!!!!

My shoulders have been replaced 7 surgery's they were bone to bone and the tendons tore loose and the muscles rolled down to my elbows! and I crushed my lower 4 vertebra 7 years ago! But actually I feel good and in pretty good shape Just I walk slower now! But Im still awnry as hellI quit drinking but love a good cigar (about 3 El Producto bouquets a day) If I can find em up here

I went by Jumbo's when I was at the Woodward Detroit cruise He was long gone and I asked about him and no one knew where he moved to I heard about the wreck I didn't know they were killed but I did hear about the car being untouched!

The Cranberry Delivery was hidden by Everett because Ford wanted all the experimental stuff back! they had a court order! It was developed for a future prototype show car Ford was developing! I saw the car in St. Ignace at the show and the new owners did not know the story about the car! The gauges & touch control's and electronics were gone! It had standard gauges and switches & wiring! I have no Idea what happened to him I heard he left the Detroit area in shame!

You can check if your plugs are grounding with a test light hooked to + and touching the plug bases with the probe if it lights the block and plugs are grounding.

Good luck tomorrow I hope it starts, That wouldn't happen to be a 6 pack 348 and 4 speed would it?

I have two coffe tbles i go to. one in ypsi.....20 guys or so,not all have custom kars or hotrods.so its a mixed bag.The other ons.it seems like they all BUY their kars. i am and was a builder.

My wife retires in a few more years! We don't need much any more either since the Kids are all grown and gone! I do get burned out though and need inspiration at times to get motivated again! I watch Hollywood Knights or American Graffiti or something like them LOL If I watch them at midnight I go in the garage at 2 a.m. and do something!

Ron Barnum ? I do remember challenges at Cobo Hall about the Cranberry! I cant remember what?, But I was setting up my club display on Fri. night around Joe Zambecks model A and there was a big argument around Everett's car ! I cant remember? I think it was because his crew pushed it into the show area (it didn't run) and people thought it was ineligible to be in the Riddler Award competition? You know that award years ago was set up for home builders with well built beautiful cars!! And it didn't take long to change to professional built 250,000 dollar cars and squeezed the little guys out!!!! The Cranberry was one! I think it cost more then $300,000?

WOW Hey Bob! Ive been looking through all my boxes and found 3 of the Cranberry Delivery with no mouse teeth marks or stains that you can still make out (around 1987) 1 has a small stain I couldnt get off LOL Our club put on a show up north by My shop and it showed up! I don't have pics of the new owners! But it was a trailer queen and they pushed it to the parking spot LOL
